Readers: February 27th: Apologies for the scattered posting that's about to come during the next week or so. University has just started and I have a lot of work to do to get on top of things (and ahead!). Thanks for your patience, as always.

Violet has come to terms with the fact that being part angel, part human, means her life will never be as it was.
Now Violet has something Phoenix - the exiled angel who betrayed her
- will do anything for, and she has no intention of letting it fall
into his hands. The only problem is that he has something she needs too.
Not afraid to raise the stakes, Phoenix seemingly holds all the
power, always one step ahead. And when he puts the final pieces of the
prophecy together, it doesn't take him long to realise exactly who he
needs in order to open the gates of Hell.
With the help of surprising new allies, ancient prophecies are
deciphered, a destination set and, after a shattering confrontation with
her father, Violet leaves for the islands of Greece without knowing if
she will have a home to return to...

I recently read Embrace and Enticed - loved them to death. So excited for this!!

Wilde Island is in an
uproar after the recent death of its king. The uneasy pact between
dragons, fairies, and humans is fraying, and a bloodthirsty witch hunter
with a hidden agenda whips villages into frenzies with wild
accusations. Tess, a blacksmith’s daughter from a tiny hamlet near the
mysterious Dragonswood, finds herself caught in the crosshairs of fate
when she is accused of witchery and has to flee for her life along with
her two best friends.
Not even Tess’s power to see the future can help the girls as they
set off on their desperate journey, but she keeps having visions of a
man wielding a sword. And when she finally meets him, Tess has no idea
how to handle the magnetic attraction she feels for him, or the elusive
call she hears from the heart of the Dragonswood.
In this epic romance, an ancient prophecy comes true in a way neither dragon, fairy, nor human would have predicted.

Dragons.....kings.....fairies........action.....hot sword-wielding men...what's not to like?

Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler and Maira KalmanReleased December 27th 2011

I'm telling you why we broke up, Ed. I'm writing it in this letter, the whole truth of why it happened.

Min
Green and Ed Slaterton are breaking up, so Min is writing Ed a letter
and giving him a box. Inside the box is why they broke up. Two bottle
caps, a movie ticket, a folded note, a box of matches, a protractor,
books, a toy truck, a pair of ugly earrings, a comb from a motel room,
and every other item collected over the course of a giddy, intimate,
heartbreaking relationship. Item after item is illustrated and accounted
for, and then the box, like a girlfriend, will be dumped

Wow. This sounds like a sweet, yet heartbreaking, story. I absolutely cannot wait to read it!
